Company Summary

Savvo is an integrated marketing firm that connects shoppers and wine, beer & spirits brands at the critical point of purchase. By bridging the gap between traditional marketing tools and online solutions, we are able to bring all the power and convenience of e-commerce to the aisle (where most people still shop). Our solutions inspire, educate and connect with shoppers and brands, and extend the relationships outside of the store.
